subject: Meet the Author: Dennis L. Siluk (Reviews Complied by: Rosa Penaloza ) [print this page] Meet the Author: Dennis LMeet the Author: Dennis L. Siluk (Reviews Complied by: Rosa Penaloza )For this past year or so I have been writing comments about Dennis' work, and today I want to share with you some of his reviews and comments other folks have had. He has a verity of literature out there, from short stories (over 200 now), to articles (over 800) to poems (over 1000)--and of course his 31 books, and he is working on four other books, and has done about 12-chapbooks. Most of this work has been done in the past five years, minus three books (and one Manuscript left over from 1984, published 13-years later), and six chapbooks, and miscellaneous poetry. Perhaps he is best know for his travels, he has traveled the world over, now it is almost 27-times around the world, or as he said: 687,000-air miles, thus, not to include all the travels on the road he did when he was young, going to San Francisco, and Omaha, along with Seattle, and the Dakotas, he lived in all these places in the 60s; in the 70s he traveled throughout Europe for four years, during this time he went to Vietnam, in 1971, and came back to Europe. Now he has spent, or taken eight trips to South America, where he has his second home, and where he loves the Mountains by Huancayo.
